Rapsodi - 187, swatch

This is a brand I've bought in Crete and I've used if before but I haven't showed this one alone before. The formula is sheer but covered after 3 coats and the finish is glass like. I used Seche Vite as usual which only added to the shine but I didn't find 187 to be especially fast drying and got a bump after a while. The color is a warm middle tone purple even though the pictures are slightly a bit too cold/blue toned on my screen.

Ooh so glossy...^^

Bought in Crete for 1 euro or something like that.

Blue flower funky french

I did a nail art over Pink Lemonade II which I showed you yesterday, I'm not 100% happy with the result, but I hope you'll like it anyhow. Maybe it's because it perhaps has some unintentional Easter feel to it? What do you think?

Polishes used:

Rapsodi - 175, swatch

This is a duchrome polish which I bought in a vacation in Crete. The main colors in the bottle are green and pink. I've tried this before on it's own and it was too sheer so here I've layered in on a black creme. I've actually swatched this before but the photos came out crappy so I decided to reuse this polish.

One coat on black makes it look mostly pink and here I'm showing it with 2 coats on top of  black creme. It's hard to photograph it properly, but the main colors showing is a pale pink with dirty mud like green "sides". Depending on the light and angle of the hand I see pale pink, green, brown, bronze/golden, warm hot pink and even purple.

This last one is only one coat, the brush strokes shows more and the colors seems mostly pink.

I really like this polish even though it's not my favorite duochorme/multichrome polish and I almost regret not buying more when the cost was something like 1 euro. I'm also going to try layer it over green in the future and see how that will look like. :)

Halloween glitter gradient

Hi, as you might know I having a Halloween theme week and today I'm showing a Halloween gradient, or that's at least what I call it. I was thinking about "Halloween colors", and the orange and black combination are given, I've also seen a lot of green and purple. So basically I decided to have a purple base and then used Spooky Floam (which I showed earlier) to make a inverted glitter gradient. I think the result came out really cool, not overly "Halloween like", more elegant but still with some classical Halloween colors. Hope you like it!

Added a close up to show how the orange glitter really pop! And yea, btw everything which was "floamed" here glowed in the dark! ;) Not too bad.
